Q:

Hi there tech team!

Does GW2 support the Razer Orbweaver or Nostromo or the Logitech G13 gaming pad?

I’ve read on the corsair forums that stuff like the Corsair K90 Mmo keyboard doesn’t actually work with GW2.

A:

I use the Nostromo and have done for several games before this so it was already installed before I got GW2 and have no problems.

just one warning, gaile grey(sp) has posted that using anything to automate key presses(macros) is viewed as an unfair advantage.

so, in short, you really cant use it like many people want to.

Hmm, they usually say that using a KB to do stuff that’s physically possible is fine, but not to record scripts. The G-Series keyboards they gave as prizes in Guild Wars 1 would have compromised their own policy otherwise.

“We do not terminate accounts based on the use of hardware, unless that also involves third-party programs that give an advantage to a player. A single one-to-one bind is fine. Binding 11 different skills to one press of a key isn’t so fine.”

I plan to remap keys so that I don’t have to use the entire keyboard for skills and stuff =\

But it seems like an account ban for “static field, wait 1 second, arcane wave”, all mapped to one button.

IIRC WoW allows macros like that to be run so that users can run key combos without being banned for botting. -_- and that game is how old?

but WoW isnt gw2, and blizzard isnt anet,

the feeling of some is that its unfair because not everybody has the same hardware, the sad part is, you can get free apps like autohotkey and setup macro’s with even normal cheapo keyboards….but, that would take the person actually wanting to bother doing it rather then complaining other people can do it with their keyboard software.

many mmo’s have built in basic macros, tera has skill chains to make things easier…..to bad gw2 lacks that,and anets policy is that its not acceptable.

and then there are those of us whom are dying playing this game, considerably more, without dedicated controller settings per default if we choose to have them. I’ve been onto anet since launch but they are not interested. They seem to be stuck on the 80’s. I NEED a controller so I can move properly. Thats why I bought the Orbweaver. Xpadder was fine, but only that. and now I’m again having difficulties moving and getting my char to GO in the direction I need to go with the toggle on the Orbweaver. The camera keeps swinging back around to the direction I was in before I tried going left or right. I’m also trying to get this game to work so I dont need to use the mouse arrow all the time as I constantly lose the arrow when I need it desperately. Anet are deliberately holding up a hand saying NO to a huge section of the gaming community with this stance. I even tried bringing up the lack of controller support on GW2’s fb page in a Q&A session they were having with dev a few weeks ago. I was being polite but firm in my post, yet they immediately wiped my fb post. Kind of proves where their heads are at with this issue. Ignore it and turn your back from it and it might go away. Well sorry Anet, I reposted my comment and asked them to kindy refrain from deleting my post. Now I need to hunt an add on that addresses this toggle/directional issue on the Orbweaver.

G13 does.
Advanced macro commands are against the GW2 TOS though.
